Hi,
using my MacMini 4,1 integrated wireless adapter on kernel 3.2 and
brcmsmac I cannot connect to AP on channel 13, other 2.4 GHz channels
work fine.
When booting MacOsX with the same AP on channel 13 it works.
My distro is Debian and I tried to set country code via:
- iw reg set
- crda
- setting the AP to broadcast country code
but made no difference.
The very same issue with detailed symptoms is described here:
http://133nux.blogspot.com/2011/12/missing-channel-13-this-time-broadcom.html
I tried the fix proposed in the above page, basically in
brcmsmac/channel.c struct locale_info change from
LOCALE_RESTRICTED_SET_2G_SHORT to LOCALE_RESTRICTED_NONE.
To me this seems like a hack, but works. Can you please comment?
Is this a bug or the code was intented that way?
if the latter how am I supposed to use channel 13?
uname and lspci output follows:
frankio@debmini:~$ uname -a
Linux debmini 3.2.0-1-686-pae #1 SMP Fri Feb 17 06:27:21 UTC 2012 i686 GNU/Linux
